He was stationed on Mackinac Island with his wife, Violet, and their three sons, Amos, Archie and Raymond. In the late 1920 s, Edward and Violet leased the current Horn s Bar building and ran a pool hall and snack shop business which was to become the current Horn s Gaslight Bar.

6 After the prohibition era ended in 1933, Horn s Bar was one of the first liquor licenses issued and was open year around and became a favorite of locals and tourists alike. The name of the business has changed a few times from The Palm Caf , to simply Horn s Bar, and currently to Horn s Gaslight Bar. Ed Horn passed away in the early 1950 s and Patti s Grandfather Amos, and Grandmother Nell ran the business till the late 1970 s. Her grandparents passed the business on to Patti and kept it in the family for a third generation. Patti and Steven have been running the business since 1979. The Moskwa s have worked to update the interior of the bar giving it the look of a turn of the century saloon since taking over the business.

7 Prominent features include the tin ceiling and the old back bar which is a replica of an original Brunswick design, built by Holsinger Manufacturing of Kawkawlin, Michigan. Horn s is a full service bar/restaurant open for lunch and dinner, seven days a week from May through October. We are known as one of Mackinac Island s favorite drinking saloons and nightspots with entertainment and dancing and have a seating capacity of 125. Horn s is also a favorite for Mexican/Southwestern dining, along with our traditional American fare. The Yankee Rebel Tavern Built in 1995, the Yankee Rebel has gained a reputation of serving quality food in a comfortable setting.

8 The theme of the restaurant is an early 1800 s tavern. A tavern at that time was a place to gather and meet with friends and dine. The d cor includes a fireplace, period lighting and the rich wood tones of tables and chairs. Seating capacity is 145. Open for lunch and dinner seven days a week with a full service bar that offers a wide selection of wines by the glass. Group functions such as rehearsal dinners, wedding receptions, reunions, etc. are often held here as well. The Yankee Rebel Tavern is named after Ambrose Davenport who was enlisted with the Army and assigned to Fort Mackinac on Mackinac Island in the late 1700 s. Upon leaving the Army he stayed on Mackinac, became a landowner, married and started a family living in the current west bluff area.

9 When the War of 1812 started the British captured the Island and took control of the Fort Mackinac. They required all residents to swear allegiance to the English A 1 HORN S GASLIGHT BAR THE YANKEE REBEL TAVERN Section A FOR THE RECORD (continued) Crown. Ambrose and a few other prominent men of the island would not do so and were arrested by British and interred at Fort Detroit till the end of the war. When Ambrose refused he simply and proudly declared I was born in America and am determined, at all hazards, to live and die an American citizen. His wife and family remained on the Island. Mrs. Davenport was harassed and insulted by the British as they referred to her as the wife of the Yankee Rebel.

10 Ambrose returned home to his wife and family in 1815 following the end of the war and lived on his farm until he died at the age of 87 in 1858. His homestead still remains standing today.
